Chapter 483: Talking about the matchmaker
Hearing this, several ladies present were stunned.
But soon, Mrs. Fu reacted and hesitated: "Although it sounds like the conditions are not very good, since you can invite the county lord to be the matchmaker, I think this person must have his own merits." ”
Xu Qingyan smiled: "Madame misunderstood, Mr. Luo did not ask me to be a matchmaker, but I think Mr. Luo has a good character and a promising future, and he is a good match with Sister Fu." ”
"Promising future?" Mrs. Fu paused: "The county lord just said that he was a showman?" Her eyes lit up slightly.
Xu Qingyan smiled and nodded: "Yes, the first place in the exam three years ago, but not long after, his parents died of illness, Mr. Luo was sad, so he sold his family's land and planned to rent a yard in the provincial capital, while reading books, while waiting for Qiu Yu to end." It's just that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, and the house leak happened to rain overnight, and it was robbed and entangled halfway, and finally ended up in our county.
"I met him by chance, and saw that he was good at learning and famous, so I hired her to teach in the village school, five taels a month, and a year, I could save fifty or sixty taels, although the money was not much, but it was not a problem to buy a brick house in the village and add two acres of land."
With Xu Qingyan's narration, the ladies who were still very curious gradually calmed down.
This Mr. Luo's conditions sound really good, but this is for ordinary people, for a family like them, it is not enough, both parents are dead, the family has no constant wealth, it is a poor and sour talent!
It's just that this person was mentioned by Xu Qingyan, even if they feel that it is inappropriate, it is not easy to speak, thinking of this, the ladies can't help but feel some sympathy for Mrs. Fu.
I didn't expect the county lord of Le'an to mention such an unreliable person, Mrs. Fu must be in a dilemma at this moment, she may offend the county lord, but if she doesn't say it, she will harm her daughter for the rest of her life.
Mrs. Crowd looked at each other, Mrs. He was thinking about coming out to play a round, saying that it was good to say something two, it depends on who Jing Shan likes, and who she has a relationship with.
It's just that before he could speak, he heard Mrs. Fu ask: "How sure does the county lord think that Mr. Luo is in high school this autumn?" ”
Unlike the disapproval of all the ladies, Mrs. Fu is still very satisfied with Luo Qinghua, she knows her daughter's thoughts, she doesn't want to marry into a complicated family, she just wants to find a simple family to marry, even if it is a low marriage.
She knows the hardships of the big family, and she supports the idea of her daughter, but the problem is that the head of the family will not agree.
The head of the Fu family is a person who values face very much, especially the face of the family, in order to keep the reputation of the Fu family's scholarly heirloom, he would rather live a bitter life than let his family get involved in business.
As the saying goes: marry a woman from a high door, marry a wife from a low door. The head of the family would not agree to let his daughter marry a poor boy who was not well known, so that he would feel that he would not be able to get over his face, and he would be teased behind his back.
But Luo Qinghua is different, the county lord said that he is now a showman, that is, a person with meritorious fame, and the identity of the scholar is also in line with the family style of the Fu family's scholarly heirloom, and his parents are dead, and there is no mother-in-law to press him when he marries in the future. is not afraid of the evil mother-in-law, if there is anything, the husband and wife can discuss and come up with ideas.
Also, being able to sell the family's land and property to take the exam, such a desperate gamble, proves that there must be no relatives in the family, or there is not much contact between relatives, so there is one less personal matter.
As for money, she doesn't value it very much, as long as she can ensure the basic necessities of life, that Mr. Luo can have sixty or seventy taels of income every year for teaching, Jingshan is married, and the public will give a dowry, and she will post some money in private, and the two of them can live a smooth life.
If this Mr. Luo can be more promising, the title of the gold list will be even better, and Mrs. Fu's heart is playing quickly.
Xu Qingyan pondered for a moment and said, "Seventy." ”
In fact, this is already a conservative estimate, based on Luo Qinghua's hard work when she was studying, it is said that it is ninety percent possible, and several times she woke up in the middle of the night, she could find that the light in his room was still on.
As soon as she heard that there were seventy percent, Mrs. Fu was immediately excited. A heart was beating fiercely, but his face was still calm: "Listening to the county lord say this, this Mr. Luo is indeed a good candidate, but I can't be the master of Jingshan's marriage alone, so the county lord allows me to go home and talk to the head of the family, and I will give the county lord an answer in two days." ”
"There's no hurry." Xu Qingyan shook her head: "What I said today is my personal thoughts, Mr. Luo still doesn't know anything about this matter, he is concentrating on reading books at this time, so as to prepare for the autumn test, and I am afraid that he has no intention of marrying a wife before this." It was the lord of the county who thought that Mr. Luo was a good candidate, and he couldn't bear to let Sister Fu miss it, so he casually mentioned it, and if there was any rudeness, I hope Mrs. will forgive me. “
Mrs. Fu hurriedly waved her hand: "Where is the county lord talking about this, it is her blessing that you can remember Jingshan's marriage and pay attention to her everywhere." “
Hearing this, several ladies were shocked, listening to what Mrs. Fu said, it was not an ordinary polite prevarication, but she was really satisfied with that Luo Xiucai
After saying this, Xu Qingyan felt that she had nothing to say to the ladies, so she said goodbye and took Zelan and Lingxian out of the Half Lotus Pavilion and went shopping.
As soon as she left, several ladies immediately began to discuss, afraid to ask why Mrs. Fu was satisfied with poor Xiucai, and where was she satisfied?
Mrs. Fu picked up what she could say, and said what she couldn't say, so she responded to the past, and several of them were in the social circle, so they naturally knew what to ask and what not to ask, and after saying a few words, the topic moved elsewhere.
Xu Qingyan walked around the street for a while, and Zelan would buy the things she liked, and at noon she would go back to the teahouse to eat with her family.
After lunch, Xu Qingyan asked for a private room in the teahouse, planning to sleep for an afternoon, as for the Cao family, it is rare for them to go to the city to have fun, so after lunch, they made an appointment to go shopping together.
After a good night's sleep, it was already three o'clock when she woke up, only one moment before the door of the Youzheng Examination Institute opened, Cao Shi and the others had already returned, and when they saw that the time was not early, they asked the spirit fairy to come up and call her, Xu Qingyan tidied up her clothes a little and went down.
The Xu family almost rushed to the door of the examination institute with a pinch, and when the carriage stopped, it coincided with the opening of the examination institute.
The big gang of students poured out of the hospital, but they didn't go in high-spirited, and most of them were sluggish when they came out, and they wanted to come to a tense exam for a day, which was quite exhausting, especially some who didn't take the test, and they were afraid that they were already disheartened at this time.
When most of the students came out, Xu Qingwen and Xu Qingjun appeared at the door of the examination hall, but the mental attitude of others was much better.
"This, this." Seeing them, Hu and Wu waved excitedly.
The two trotted over, and Hu Shi hurriedly pulled Xu Qingwen and asked, "How is it, how is the test?" “
"Okay." Xu Qingwen said with a smile.
"What about you, Jun?" Wu pulled Xu Qingjun and asked.
Xu Qingjun thought about it and raised his head and said, "It must be hit." ”
Xu Qingyan stepped forward and gave him a look: "Look at you proudly, you dare to make a big statement in public, if you don't pass the exam, look at where your face goes." ”
